My youngest boy did his senior project for high school by surviving 72 hours in the woods (in December) with nothing but the clothes on his back. He did have a multi-tool, but he performed many of these skills.
I filmed him during the exercise and he made a slide show for his presentation.
He got an A+
👍 .. an excellent start in life for your Son .. developing the ability to think laterally.
Great parenting on your behalf for supporting him in this regard.

You have to be proud of your son to do what he did.
@little drane
You know nothing! You cheat, so you assume everyone else does.
I pity you.

I don’t know what ql means. I speak English, not gibberish.
This is outstanding most people that produce survivor videos put the emphasis on gear. But skills are the most important. People may find themselves without gear but you can survive with knowledge and skills. Thanks for a great video.
yes, the best survival stories we hear about involve people who had nothing but had to improvise with what was available

So true he hits all the points an makes sure u will make it out alive an safe an not dieing😂
Absolutely brilliant content today Andrew!!! Doctoral level survival class… this is competency level where everyone should aspire to get to, and hope they never have to use it. Working backwards from this equipment-less video every tool and item is a force multiplier for comfort and security when we do have it. I’ll say it again, integrity! I liked your acknowledgement that the fire producing took a couple of attempts (it’s never a fail if you don’t give up and make it happen!) Great showcase on the use of rocks and fire to fashion tools to create additional items, very simple and understandable! After CGSC you’re going to need to sit down and write your book on wilderness survival with your unique insights, just throwing that out there Ranger! Keep up the Fire!
John Kline , The "more than one" attempt comment is right on.
Impressive on several levels … shelter, tools, fire, and water … the eventually food.
While I agree with your premise of doctoral level, this should be taught in grade school, like cub scouts and boy scouts
@@jeffreycoulter4095 you know it sort of was taught in the Scouts waaay back in the day… I had Scoutmasters that would show you “stuff”, but if you look at the really old Boy Scout Handbooks from the 40s - 50s you see lots of what would be considered primitive skills today… it’s sad really.
Great video. I don't remember anyone else going into the detail of burning out the log for a bowl. I really enjoy the way you break things down and show how they are done.
Corporal Shawn Kelly (corporal's corner)
Has been doing shout outs recommending subscribers to your channel major.
A VERY WELL DESERVED recommendation indeed.
I'd say you're on a similar knowledge level
To the corporal.
Two of the world's leading survival instructors taking the time to help others improve their skills.
Good karma coming to you both major.
We're all very grateful 😎👍.
Best way to train for wilderness survival . Improvisation becomes your most important skill set .
Time for Sunday morning’s edification.😎 As Al Bundy would say, Let’s Rock.
out of thousands of survival videos watched, this is the only one to cover absolute,from scratch survival ( apart from the stake). there should be more of this type of content, because people like me are going to end up in a situation where their food and gear are taken by larger groups and lucky to be left with their lives.
many thanks to Andrew for all his work.
Hi Andrew!
I really enjoy all your videos, but this one... it gets me totally out of my mind!!
When your knowledge and your hands are your main tools, you can say you are a true survivor!!
Thanks for this amazing video, Sir!
Best regards from Argentina
Andrew, you and Lonnie of “Far North Bushcraft and Survival” are the two tru experts making UA-cam videos. Very good info. Thanks!
+1 for Lonnie. I really enjoy his presentation style. Andrew is clearly top notch!
I agree, they both are a wealth of knowledge. Also, personally speaking, I really appreciate that they haven't turned their channels into outdoor cooking shows.
Corporals corner and Dave Canterbury clear home run 🥰🍻
Ill look this Lonnie fellow up - Yukoner here, not often i find someone as north as I am.
Wise men travel to the same sources for knowledge
Great vid Andrew! Hands only is a almost forgotten Art. We really need to keep these skills alive and pass them on. Knowledge is power and these skills provided with the mindset to adapt and overcome is how mankind made it this far. I really enjoyed this one man. 👍🌟😁
Well done Ranger!
Outstanding class Andrew! It doesn't get any more minimal then that, and yet we learn how the landscape provides so many usable resources. You've got top notch teaching skills, well done sir. Thank you.
This was some honest to goodness stone age cave man stuff right there. Major, I think you really outdid yourself on this one. We are so used to using tools that we have a difficult time conceiving how man functioned without them. What you did with the bowl, can you imagine how long it would take to do a canoe? This was beyond a shadow of doubt, outstanding. Well done.
Yes I was thinking he was going to take it to the next level and make a canoe to paddle home after the ice melts.
Youre an inspiration Andrew. Your PMA shines thru on all your videos. Every week your out workin hard and postin for us all. Thank you!👍👍
That was an outstanding survival video.
I have never seen anyone burn out a log to make a bowl before.
To reduce losing a lot of the leaves on the chest from moving about at night, so you could ram 4 sticks into the ground spaced as the corners of your shemagh and tie it on to make a cover over your chest area, then pile leaves on top of that
This is, by far, the best video i've ever seen on survival skills. I learned more from you in 30 minutes, then I've learned in watching tens of hours of others videos. You may have the best outdoors skills channel on Utube. Thanks for all the hard work. And I can't wait for the next episode!
Possibly your best video yet sir! I especially loved the honesty about the bow drill fire actually taking three attempts and another bow drill set even though you've perfected the art...that way folks like me who might try a bow drill and fail on one or two tries don't just give up and think it's impossible because the YT guy gets it first time every time. Being USAF for 25 years, I appreciate the integrity. Looking forward to the next video!
Outstanding! I learned some new tricks and I have watched many such tutorials and even studied with a true master (Arthur Haines) one month where every fire I made was via bow or (mostly) hand drill. By the way, I HIGHLY recommend his videos and main book (A New Path). Also, the videos by Tom McElroy are outstanding. And of course Lonnie of Far North Bushcraft and Survival is top shelf. Cheers mate, thanks again for the fire made bowl trick! Oh, note that my uncle (who has a remarkable Native American stone tool collection which he displays at schools and fairs) has read up a lot on reports of their methods, and said they would often dig large holes and boil soups in them using the rock method. They would also spread hot rocks or coals on bare ground, cover with some soil, then sleep on a pre-heated surface at times. Also, you can boil in bark bowls as Lonnie and Tom show. Keep up the great work!
Andrew you did it again. You never cease to educate and inform your audience. Your simplistic and coherent teaching methods are outstanding. Thank you again for another excellent lesson.
I totally love your videos…
Very informative and thought provoking!!!
I continue to learn…
Just can’t thank you enough 🥰
May God continue to bless you…
And your channel 🙏🏻🥰
Andrew I have championed roughly 20 serious survival channels. I believe in doing my homework before buying gear. You may be surprised to know that although nobody else uses everything you use, almost all of them use at least one thing that you use.
70% of my emergency bag is very close to your advanced survival bag. But the other 30% is a version that is similar however works for me.
Good job and we’ll see you out there.
I liked the voice over at critical points to fill in bits of knowledge. As always great information, educational and entertaining!.
Thanks for sharing
"Gear should be an extension of your knowledge, not a substitute for it" perfectly demonstrated here. Great video.
The Bigfoot bed and also double as a makeshift ball pit / leaf pit for kids entertainment in the woods! AND YOU ALSO took Bushcraft a whole new level Andrew this is amazing!!!
You got a thumbs up as soon as I saw you debris bed. You made all us nest builders very happy. Arguably the first step for any shelter you make.👍👍
Great stuff! I like the narration and would like to hear a lot more Ranger stories of past experiences in the field! ☺️
One million likes. Really enjoyed this primitive survival video. Your channel and corporals corner are top notch, the best out there.
Always the best in outdoor survival skills and attitude, Thanks Andrew,
Man I’ve seen your channel grow so much…keep up the good quality vids , seriously. You killing it.
One of the things I like about your videos is that you are honest. You admitted the meat was from somewhere else. No BS.
Damnnnnn it say this was posted 10 minutes ago and already 71 likes. I automatically hit like when I see one of Andrews videos.
Hey brother I just want to tell you that I love your shows I love every video that you make
I learn something watching every one of your video's. That must make you a pretty good teacher...
Awesome. I enjoyed the voice over as well. Nice work!
Excellent video on survival skills....thanks friend...freedom for all people...
Good job! Rangers lead the way!
Impressive!! Rangers Lead The Way!!
Log bowl was a phenomenal idea great video
Great show! I learned something today. Thx.
Hi Andrew. A good soldier always starts marching with the left foot - put the left foot at the first rock and the right foot at the second rock one is then facing north! Thank you once again for great information and telling it like it is, "warts and all". AStay safe. ATB. Nigel
Andrew I'd like to thank you on all your videos. I'm worried that society may collapse and these skills to stay alive will make all the difference. Thank you sir .
the more i watch the more i cant get enough of your content , in the words of your pathfinder friend OUTSTANDING AF
Wow !! I can't remember the last time I saw these primitive skills demonstrated by anyone, it has been many many years !! Thank you so very much for this !!! I did some percussion flaking in a course I took years ago in Physical Anthropology. We used black volcanic rock, and the edges we were able to achieve were razor sharp !! It gave us a clear idea of how primitive man used and made stone tools for tasks in everyday life.
Awesome... Proving knowledge, practice and more practice more useful than carry unnecessary gear. Also cheaper on the bank account... Thanks for sharing.
Keep up the great work and Corporal Corner told me to give you a shout-out thank you so much
Another outstanding video sir!
Always forward
KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK AGAIN ANDREW ! It doesn't get any better than this here. From boiling water with rocks to land navigation with the sun and sticks and rocks. You're a true master of your environment. Keep the vids coming. I've been a subscriber to your channel from the very start and it just gets better with time , like a fine wine. Peace brother.
Andrew, the skills and knowledge you gift us in your videos are worth more than gold. I cannot thank you enough Sir. My children and I watch your videos together every other night (3-4 nights a week). We have started practicing these skills together and hope to be proficient enough that, in a worse case scenario in which we would have to survive, we could thrive rather than struggle to survive. You make survival look like a vacation. God bless you Sir!
What o liked here in this video is this guy went all out nature, how to make fire, how to get drinking water even it wasn't clear water it was drinkable, how to make a compass, what I like is pure basic and that is what he showed us, oh even a place to sleep, keep up the good work
I love those mechanic gloves, I have the same ones and the padded ones as well awesome gloves that last forever.
As I have posted before on some of your video's, Great work, sir!!! I was watching and called "BS" when you showed placing the ember in the bird's nest and it showed both boots laced up. Then a bit later you stated it took more than one time to get the friction fire started. I now have a whole new respect for you. God bless and keep up the great work. Boomer Sooner.
Perfect, simple ,complete, proving your greatest asset is your brain and knowledge.
Great video, great practical info. Thanks.
Sweet video Andrew, back to basic. Thank you for your service. Pete from Minnesota.
Thank you so very much for these videos. Very informative and easy to understand. As always, very well done.
Omg this video was rock solid. I will watch this from time to time. Put this guy on a million dollar survival show and he will win. I'd bet anything
I loved this video. You give me good ideas for outdoor activities with my grand children. Thanks Andrew
Thanks Andrew, you just proved my point on why you should learn Primitive Skills. After being mocked and laughed for years by my peers, I told them " don't rely to much on your gears, S**t do happen". How many stories do we hear on people getting lost unprepared and without any gears on hand. Remember that lady who got lost in Hawaii or that Toronto girl that died of Hypothermia on the BC Rockies mountains. She was unprepared and unskilled. Thank you Andrew.
This is the kind of video that belongs in a survival library, Very to the point, no nonsense, perfect. Great job. It’s not easy to make such stream-lined, easy to understand video. Cheers.
That's exactly how the Australian Aboriginals lived...The only exception was the paracord. Though full credit to yourself Andrew. You are a top bloke who talks the talk and walks the walk.....
Good job Matey...From the land down under
Been watching your channel for months now.
Still love the being out there, tried and true, practical methods you use.
It’s not about the gear you have or, in this case, don’t have, but using you mind and skills.
Keep up the excellent work.
Love your work here in Trinidad! 🇹🇹
Great video. You and Shawn are the only ones that I tune into every week. Your instructions and how to are simple but very effective. As I told CC earlier today I watch you guys videos all the way through. Thanks for the great information. Looking forward to your next video.
Not even finished and this is already one of my favorites. Nice work Andrew! Thanks for sharing. Just finished and shared this with my dad and brother too!!!
Great job and thank you for the easy-to-understand instruction!
Outstanding! Thanks for taking the time to show all the detail, and being honest about how hard it can be. Especially the bow drill with no tools, excellent work!
Post video watch comment: learned a new piece of information with the bock boiling method and the old memory was refreshed with the stone and stick method of direction finding. Always top shelf instruction sir.🤙
Will you always have the correct way(if you just wait 30 min) no matter the time with the stick and stone method?
Great info as usual, sir!
May I ask how long did it take you to burn the large cavity bowl into your log?
Also, is it wise to heat up a thin slab of chunk of rock and use that as a stone grill for your meat or it really best to just roast your meat directly on the coal bed for more speed, I guess?
I was thinking about that too. charcoal cleans your teeth as you eat it though
I was going to ask the same.
Wow boiling water with hot stones is a new one on me don’t know why I ever thought of that one thanks for the great idea Andrew I can’t wait try this one now, thanks for sharing 👍
Primitive skills are always such a treat. One thing I love about your videos is the safety factor. Like being extra careful with fire in dry conditions and not using wet rocks that can explode. And my fav - your ongoing insistence on being humble/real enough to make certain you can signal for help.
Mors said drinking hot water has a lot of value especially if food is scares
Great video. Appreciate the more than one try admission. So often those of us who only dabbled into fire making feel frustrated, inferior, and disillusioned when we cannot get it on the first try; as we have seen on countless other videos. Knowing that even a skilled practitioner will sometime falter gives us hope and encouragement that will succeed in the long run.
All I can say is well done! Absolutely ingenious video and a great display of what a person can accomplish without relying on manufactured items only to survive. Very awesome video!
Excellent video with lots of brilliant advice, tips and tricks.
I appreciate the honesty on the number of sets and tries it took. A lot of videos make it look super easy. Good to know it's a difficult task even for a pro.
Thanks for the amazing content! I'm a EDC, hiking, camping, survivalist enthusiast, and I find your videos to be the most serious out there!
Thanks so much for sharing ! Very very helpful!
Id take classes from you in a heartbeat. You are such a cool and knowledgeable man. Thank you for taking your precious time to teach us, sir!
RANGERS led the way !!! Awesome instructions !
That was a great video. I really liked how you took time to explain everything that you were doing and adding bits and pieces of world history and your Military training into the mix. I would love to see a comprehensive training video on the bow drill, with detailed explanations on how and why everything works. Keep up the great work.
Of all your videos, this is by far my favorite one through sharing truly primitive skills. Thanks!
Been in the game for years and every video you do I learn something. Sometimes it is simply the way you do a thing that shows me a new skill. Best of the Best. Keep up the good work.
Now THIS is the kind of lesson that I get excited over! Great survival information and demonstration!
Absolutely brilliant, thank you Andrew.
I liked being shown those primitive skills. This was a great one. Thanks Andrew.
That was awesome! Gear is great, but skills pay the bills! Thanks for sharing all these fantastic primitive skills for us to consider and practice.
Thanks for that very educational video. It put the entire process together in one sequence.
Total respect. Thank you for sharing with us. Excellent video.
Hands only & hands on. Excellent information. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for these skills for several years now because I want to teach them to my 9 & 13 year old grandsons.
Awesome instructional thank you for sharing
Excellent period of instruction! This seems like it could be a final exam for any survival school program. Your skills and ability to teach put you in a rare class of people.
Great video. Especially creating a container and fireset. Thanks
Outstanding demonstration. Thank you.
As always you pack a lot of useful information into your videos.
Thanks so much for doing the work so we can enjoy and learn survival skills.
Excellent video Andrew!! Skills are #1, .With skills one can craft, create, and improvise, equipment, shelter and items to make it easier and more effective to adapt and overcome. Thanks for the video and for sharing.
The more you know, the lighter you go. Knowledge is the best tool you can bring with you in a survival situation. Congratulations on this excellent and informative video. You are an outstanding teacher . Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks Andrew for another excellent video, every thing off the land around you, I stand in awe of your knowledge. So many of the other bush craft/survival sites relies on tech or the latest gizmo, so nice to get back to the real world. Best wishes from the UK
Really great, informative video. Thank you for your videos and for your service!
Wow Andrew, thank you, that added a good set of tools to my tool box. Truly impressive. Never knew about the ‘big foot bed’; the log bowl is another one I previously knew nothing about and pointing out the awareness of rock grain and colour for identifying good tool material is both neat and useful.
Glad I heard about you from Corporal’s Corner. Cheers
